To make it more rapidly :
- use gmail accound to sort [Cooker] out of [Cooker] [Bug... (would *really* be easier if bugs were posted to another ML).
- gmail is interesting as the whole content of thread appears (which evolution does not)
- star the interesting threads
- search in archive the thread (most relevant posts)
How other distributions / projects do it
- http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Fedora_Weekly_News_Latest_Issue
- quite short as done on a week after week basis (I prefer a monthly basis even if it's longer)
- links are embedded in the text (I prefer when they are afterwards), they point out to personal home page (on cooker wiki for example) or blog
- translated to french and german as well (thanks to wiki structure based on mediawiki)
- latest information first : I like it, that can be reworked at end of month for readability-sake
- the process seems to be heavy, requiring authentication + validation of the content

Enhancements suggested for current cooker weekly news
- add a hot topic of the month (like is done at http://club.mandriva.com but kept up-to-date, by someone in charge, as a guidance to priorities, other works can continue but it shows to a newcomer which topic is being worked on, others topic are not less important but may be seen as less "hot")
